Local Sharon Gibson left the crowd speechless when she took to the stage and performed Meatloaf ’s legendary Bat out of Hell. Thrilled to have played a part in making the night a success, Sharon told The Review: “I’m really close to Lynne and Miles so it’s amazing to have supported it.” The Smuggler’s Inn, who provided refreshments over the course of the evening, couldn’t be happier to have been involved. Owner Alan Dawson Said: “It’s a pleasure to support Miles and Lynne. They’re both personal friends.” We’re all happy to support them here, and ultimately to support Glasgow Children’s hospital.” The fun didn’t end with just music however. Additionally, there was an auction, which consisted of Rangers and Celtic jerseys signed by John Brown and Chris Sutton, a cue ball signed by Ronnie O’Sullivan, Monty Python star Eric Idle gave up his signed Life of Brian Doll, a Primal Scream vinyl signed by Bobby Gillespie, Belladrum Tartan Heart 3-day camping tickets for two and Sharleen Spiteri of Texas even donated her acoustic guitar for the occasion. There were more incredible items for purchase in addition to this. The Village Balti House and The Coffee Pot provided some light bites for the punters, both pakora and sandwiches respectively. Due to the overwhelming success of Ghoulie in the hall as well as its less frightening counterpart, Hoolie, Miles And Lynne believe the event is becoming somewhat of a brand in the town, seeing as this was the third time it has sold out since its debut. As it stands, there are no plans to expand the event as Miles feels it’s important to keep Ghoulie/ Hoolie as Stewartonian events, but all could change in the future.
